Where one was always seen in the most designer outfits pulled from the pages of magazines and vetted by more savvy sorts, one now has a preference for the simple: jeans, shirts with words on them (such a faux pas), Chucks, and bracelets that might come out of a Vans. Nicoletta's outfits are not going for fashion or style as she was when walking the halls with her gaggle of girls opting instead for more 'normal' and fitting attire. She's aping the 'low effort' style if only because she has no discernible eye for fashion or style at all. But then, that's what searching for identity is about, surely? Nicoletta's hair is medium length and quite shiny for a muddy brown, matching her muddy eyes. At five foot six she's not going to be standing above anyone and her pale skin is not going to have her standing out much as well, which is actually rather nice for a change. Old habits do die hard and while she has brought just a bit too much makeup with her, most days at camp she either foregoes it altogether. Nicoletta has the figure of a perpetually benched athlete, in that while she is trim and 'in shape', lack of any regular routine has left her with...call it 'extra' around the waist and torso. Nicoletta is rather soft spoken but when her voice IS heard, chances are it comes tinged with a slight accent while blending with her mellow tone.[/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Y4sTPUI.gif[/img] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Habits & Quirks[/b][/color]◄ [indent][list] [*]She bites her lip when thinking, but in a way that makes her look as if she has to go to the bathroom [*]Often interjects sentences with 'um' as you do when you're a teenager with little to actually say [*]Frequently slips into Italian when frustrated, annoyed, or just to show off to someone she's trying to impress [*]Eats her pasta with a spoon, like a damned lunatic that must be stopped. [*]When sitting, she observes great posture and doesn't seem to comprehend people that sit differently, to the point where she'll remark on it [*]Hums in the shower. She would sing but there are people around and she doesn't know them.

The cracking of the shells and the skins are just...[i]ugh[/i] [/indent] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Fears & Phobias[/b][/color]◄ [indent]Rejection. While many people fear being rejected by, say, a crush or something, Nicoletta fears being rejected by not just her peers but by her old fashioned, traditionalist family. She wishes she could get rejected by a crush, because at least then she'd have been brave enough to do something other than pine in misery. Bees. While not a phobia, Nicoletta just absolutely hates bees. It goes without saying that the big baddies, the hornets and wasps of the world, get no love from her either. Driving. Nicoletta hasn't got her driver's license yet simply because she doesn't like being behind the wheel. The last time she drove, with her permit, she wound up freezing up and hitting a mail box at the post office. It took weeks to buff out the blue residue.[/indent] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Good Personality Traits[/b][/color]◄ [indent]Curious, enough to want to expand her horizons and try new things...within reason. Friendly. Despite her social circle in school, Nicoletta is willing to be friends with damn near everyone that asks Humorous. Nicoletta knows and understands the value and appeal of a great joke. Mellow. Though she enjoys some physical activities as any one does, Nicoletta is the master at letting things slide. Chill.[/indent] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Bad Personality Traits[/b][/color]◄ [indent]Dishonest. By the sheer fact that she's lying to herself she is by extension lying to damn near everyone she meets. Meek. It's easy for others to impose their influence on her. Easily swayed. Forgetful. It's hard to remember appointments. Judgmental. She knows she shouldn't, given her own situation, but she always makes snap judgments about people based on the worst things, such as appearance or style. Pessimistic. [/indent] [img]http://i.imgur.com/sjaghYA.gif[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/xQCZDdC.gif[/img] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Personality[/b][/color]◄ [indent]In the world there are leaders and there are followers, at least that's what practically every motivational speaker would tell you; but in the case of Nicoletta? It's absolutely true. Much of her life has been spent simply doing what others have told her to do with little regard for her own thoughts on the matter. It was one thing when her papa asked her to help out. It was another when suddenly the girls she hung out with at school were telling her what to do, who to associate with, and what matched with what. Nicoletta has been a follower for as long as she could remember, which is already far too long. It's rare to see Nicoletta without a smile. However, when Nicoletta smiles it never seems to be out of genuine joy, and she only ever appears to contribute to conversations amongst her supposed peers in the vaguest manner possible. She's one of the popular crowd in school by virtue of the most shallow reasons possible and she knows that but sees no reason why she can't take advantage of that while it lasts. She wants to just be herself, but that's become harder and harder as she isn't quite sure who she is or what she wants...only that she doesn't want to suffer more talk over who's hooking up with who. To her credit, she has begun taking steps to breaking out of her meek shell, starting by speaking up more and trying to let her voice be heard among a group of people damn near deaf to anything other than their own inflated egos. Nicoletta doesn't want to enter into adulthood having not made a single decision for herself, and with the end of the teenage years looming on the horizon, she hopes that a place free from the expectations of others will lead to some deep soul searching. A lot can change over the summer. Nicoletta is counting on it. [/indent] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Place Of Origin[/b][/color]◄ [indent]Genoa, Italy. Resides in Burbank, Californa[/indent] ►[color=sandybrown][b]Background[/b][/color]◄ [indent]Nicoletta was born in Italy to Marco Soriano and Laura Soriano. Their only child, Nicoletta enjoyed a rather uneventful youth, often being left to her own devices while her parents were busying themselves with their careers: Marco being a chef and Laura a photographer mostly known for travel sites and food blogs. Nicoletta can't recall much of note from her youth in Italy; it was a fairly average and thus un-noteworthy childhood. Things took a turn when Nicoletta's uncle Stefano came to the house with a proposition for Marco. Stefano had a failing business in America that he was willing to give full ownership over to Marco, knowing that Marco often dreamed of opening his own restaurant. And so at the age of twelve Nicoletta was moved from Italy to America. By the time she was fourteen and entering high school, [i]Soriano's[/i] was one of L.A.'s hottest restaurants, noted for its frequent celebrity appearances and the quality of its menu. When Nicoletta entered high school still getting used to the country, she found herself being roped into the popular circle not due to her looks or style (which were un-noteworthy) but because her family name was plastered over magazines and tabloids. Not knowing any better, or perhaps just glad to be accepted, Nicoletta allowed herself to be swept along with little fuss. She was popular, even if it came with the unfortunate side effect of having to change herself for the approval of others. Sure, it felt nice to be part of something, but it was less nice when she was told that people she wanted to be friends with were actually not someone she wanted to be friends with. The only decisions Nicoletta made for herself were what two electives she took and what she had for lunch. Nicoletta wanted to go out for the tennis team, but was pulled into a trip to the mall when tryouts were taking place, and that was just one of the moments where she had to put her own wants aside for the sake of other people. Her papa is pushing her to a business degree, wanting her to one day take over ownership of [i]Soriano's[/i] while her mother is not so subtly mentioning how some of her new friends have 'boys around your age, Nicoletta'. Neither of those interest her, but all Nicoletta believes she can do is look for colleges with good business programs and smile and nod through awkward set-up dates with people she has no romantic or physical attraction to. Her life has never really been hers, and she hates that. She hates that she hasn't been able to speak up. She hates that she's on a path she was put on. But most of all she hates that she just grins and bears it. Nicoletta convinced her parents to let her attend Camp Liberty. It was one of the first decisions she made on her own terms, and she hopes it will lead to her being able to finally live life on her own terms. But first she has to find out what it is she wants.
